• Manage market, credit, and operational risks to forecast losses and compute capital requirements
• Participate in the discussion related to analytical strategies, modeling and forecasting methods
• Identify structure to influence global assessments, inclusive of technical, audit and market perspectives
• Collaborate and consult with regulators, auditors and individuals that are technically oriented and have excellent communication skills

Required Qualifications:

• 4+ years of Quantitative Analytics experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
• Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, economics, or computer science

Desired Qualifications:

• 4 years of hands-on experience in AI/ML model development and implementation in applied business settings.
• Strong experience developing and validating causal inference models to estimate treatment effects and measure business impact.
• Hands-on expertise with causal machine learning techniques, including T-Learners, S-Learners, X-Learners, Doubly Robust Learners, Causal Forests, Uplift Modeling, and KNN-based approaches.
• Experience with propensity score matching/weighting, inverse probability weighting (IPW), difference-in-differences (DiD), synthetic control methods, regression discontinuity, and instrumental variable techniques.
• Proficiency in designing and analyzing A/B tests, quasi-experiments, and observational studies.
• Strong knowledge of counterfactual analysis, treatment effect estimation (ATE, ATT, CATE), confounding bias mitigation, and model interpretability.
• Ability to translate causal insights into actionable business recommendations and communicate findings effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong foundation in statistics, machine learning, experimental design, and large-scale data analysis.
• Strong foundation in statistics, machine learning, experimental design, and large-scale data analysis.

• Solid ML/statistical foundation: regression (linear/logistic), time series, multivariate analysis; tree/ensemble methods (RF, XGBoost/GBM), SVM; and practical understanding of model evaluation and tuning (e.g., AUC/ROC).
• Strong applied quantitative modeling background, including optimization and/or simulation techniques used in planning, allocation, or decisioning problems.
• Hands-on experience implementing optimization models (linear programming preferred) and translating objective functions and constraints into production-ready code.
• Solid understanding of uncertainty modeling and simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo), including summarizing distributional outcomes and stress/adverse-condition analysis.
• Experience in model deployment, UAT support, and model monitoring/maintenance in production.
• Strong analytical problem-solving and critical thinking; ability to learn business context quickly and collaborate across teams.

Job Expectations:

• Lead the development and application of causal inference methodologies to measure the impact of business actions, generate actionable insights, and support strategic decision-making.
• Collaborate across teams to design experiments, deploy scalable solutions, and communicate findings to stakeholders and leadership.
• Translate complex causal findings into clear recommendations for senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, product teams, and business partners to operationalize causal models in production.
• Stay current with advancements in causal AI, experimentation, and machine learning, and drive adoption of best practices within the team.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of the organization's causal inference capabilities.
